Tentman, model 52s are very common in US small bore circles. A bit like old BSA internationals here. I'd be surprised if you cannot get a profiled prefit barrel. In Australia MAB is now TSE (in Brisbane) and they do chrome moly bbls - only ones that do here. Mod 52s and the Miroku copy have quite a high bolt lift that makes low scope mounting more difficult than it should be IIRC.
